Chet was playing a nylon string guitar. The songs in the medley are: Darling Nellie Gray (Benjamin Russell Hanby, 1856) Nelly Bly (Stephen Foster) Camptown Races (Stephen Foster) Down By The Old Mill Stream (Tell Taylor, 1910) It's A Long Way To Tipperary (Jack Judge, 1912) The Sidewalks Of New York (Charles Lawlor / James Blake) America The Beautiful (Samuel Ward / Katherine Lee Bates) In the first two songs, Chet playes the alternating bass with no muting of the bass strings. If you have a soft thumb, you can play the bass double stops on beats 2 & 4 with your thumb. As an alternative, play them with your thumb and index finger and use you middle and ring fingers to play the melody. The same technique is used for "Old Mill Stream", except at times the middle finger is also required to play the triads of the rhythm on beats 2 & 3. Chet goes to his more traditional muted bass In "It's A Long Way To Tipperary" and "The Sidewalks of New York". The right hand fingering for the tremolo section of "America The Beautiful" was taken from the explanation he demonstrated for "Londondairy Air" in his instructional video "The Guitar of Chet Atkins". I made a guess that he played measures 174-179 using the same right hand fingerings. Good lubk with the rolls in measures 180-181. Those are the notes he played, although I;m not sure how he did it !!!!! cw %).38 %).38
